Millions Reagent Extra Pure is a specialized analytical solution primarily used to detect phenolic amino acids, particularly tyrosine, in proteins. It functions by producing a reddish-brown coloration when heated with compounds containing phenol groups, making it highly valuable in biochemical testing and protein analysis. This reagent is a mixture of mercury(I) and mercury(II) nitrates in nitric acid, and its high purity ensures sharp, interference-free results, especially in sensitive laboratory experiments or educational demonstrations. Due to its toxic and corrosive nature, proper handling is essential. It must be used in a fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats. Millon’s Reagent remains a reliable and well-established tool for identifying proteins with tyrosine residues and is commonly found in chemical, clinical, and educational labs.
